What Terra Incognita Guides Can Do For You When we start working on your Down Under Safari initial draft, we will endeavour to find and recommend the best area, the best time and the best outfitter who is able to deliver the service (and the game !) you want. Our fingers will do the initial walking over the keyboard and telephone and this will not cost you a cent ! We are paid for our efforts by outfitters a commission when you book your hunt with them at their standard prices. We will always give you a few options and it is not our intention to steer you towards the higher player or the lowest bidder in order to get more commission for ourselves or to get you hooked with the "dirt cheap deal". We want you to come back again and recommend this place to your friends, we want to put Australia on a World's Map as your preferred destination ! Tahr, New Zealand, South Island There is no such thing as a cheap but high value hunt ! Far too many people have had their fingers burned too often on those deals ! Go to the little known operator, you might be lucky ! He might be a genuine first timer with a great promotional offer ! On the other hand, he might be one of the few cowboys in the industry and we do not want you to fall prey to such a character ! Contact us if you can, we will be more than happy to check out such things for you ! However, we are unlikely to recommend any of those " $ 50 a day, nothing included hunts" ! I presume you have been cruising the Net and leafing through some printed ads in hunting magazines. By now you have probably found a number of very attractive, charmingly priced offers. Our advise is to make sure you read the fine print, make sure the operator is licensed properly and can deliver the product and the service you want before you decide to part company with your deposit ! Mel Burton's Taxidermy Studio, Kilcoy, Qld, Australia Some of the guides and outfitters Down Under are true professionals, few we have trained ourselves in the art of how to accommodate and guide overseas visitors to Australia. However, there are still plenty of die-hard characters who prefer to do it "Country - Style" on a "Oh, well, maybe next time mate !" principle. This is OK for locals who can always come back to do the hunt a month later and who do not mind roughing it a bit in order to save money. With you, however, the situation is different. You fork out substantial money to travel that far, you have a particular time frame for this trip, you want the maximum hunting for your dollars, you want a good trophy, you need a proper accommodation and meals and a first class field service. And you need it NOW, not next week !

WE HAVE MADE IT OUR BUSINESS TO KNOW WHO CAN AND WHO CANNOT PROVIDE THIS KIND OF SERVICE ! OUR KNOWLEDGE WHO CAN DO WHAT, WHERE AND WHEN IS OUR VALUE !

This is what Terra Incognita Guides is all about !
